Garner and Zinckernagel crossed paths at Watford before the former returned to Manchester United and joined Forest on loan for the second half of last season.

The midfielder is wanted back on loan by the Reds, but featured in United's final pre-season friendly against Everton yesterday.

The Verdict

How Forest fans would love to see these two reunite at the City Ground...

The club have had to be patient with Zinckernagel and it does show that patience is a virtue, especially when you target specific signings.

The club will now have to be patient if they wish to land Garner, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer having a careful look at him before deciding what is best for him.
